"I loved how much was going on with Charley and the world around her in this book. There was so much to laugh at and love and there were moments that were heart breaking. Overall this was a great book. The ending of this book was especially awesome and made me love the book even more than I already did. I can't wait to see what is next in Charley's life."
"I'm still laughing along through this series. I love Charley. She's so quick with her wit. I love how Lorelei brings her to life. It's hard to pay attention to anything but the story. I'm starting to think I need a book with all her funny lines in it. All in one place.<br/><br/>This had a few fake outs in which I thought I was certain where the story was going. I like that. I like how I was kept on my toes as the story unfolded. I didn't catch on until way too late but I enjoyed that "Ah ha!" moment. I'm curious as to where Garrett's storyline goes with the new stuff he brought up. <br/><br/>I think the best thing I could have done for 2016 so far is start this series on audiobook. I have enjoyed binge listening to the first five books and look forward to getting started on book six. I need more Charley!"
"This the fifth book in the Charley Davidson series.<br/><br/><center><b><u>The Plot</b></u><br/><br/>This is one of the most unique plotlines I have come across. There is lots of humor, suspense, and plenty of mystery. Charley Davidson is not your ordinary grim reaper. Her unique gifts helped her out in many cases she has been handed. Now dead women are showing up in her apartment and Charley believes that a serial killer is on the loose and possibly her sister is next. Of course it doesn't help either when the son of Satan moves in right next door and distracts her in so many delicious ways but Charley will do anything possible to protect her sister - including selling herself to Reyes if it means he can help track down the serial killer before he goes after her sister.<br/><br/><b><u>The Characters</b></u><br/><br/>Charley Davidson - I love her. She is awesome. She might be the grim reaper but she still has human flaws. She also helps out people with her unique gifts. I don't have any pet peeves with her. <br/><br/>Cookie - How anyone NOT love this woman. She is the mother figure that has brought some stability to Charley's life when she has needed it. She is also the driving force when Charley needs to have her shopping tightened. She makes sure that everything that Charley has bought is sent back. She is the kind of friend that Charley has always been able to count on. She may not see the ghosts but she knows that they are there.<br/><br/>Reyes - The sexy son of Satan. All I can about him is yum and how I truly envy Charley for having gained his attention.<br/><br/>You will definitely love this series probably just as much I do. It is a fun series and it will keep you turning the page and giggling too. I have to say the little sayings on each chapter are funny. <br/><br/>I recommend this book to anyone who love grim reaper stories with humor. You will not regret picking this series up."
